Join the Sector Session 'Sharing & solving challenges in running commercially viable seaweed farms'
2023-06-19
Share concerns & experiences
As a sector organisation, we support a healthy seaweed sector where seaweed farmers can have a profitable business that is integrated into an economically sustainable value chain. In mid-June, we received a message from Tango Seaweed, a Norwegian seaweed farm specialising in natural cultivation of sugar kelp and winged kelp, that they were in urgent need of financial support to keep their seaweed farm running.
As we have heard similar messages before, we have decided to organise a sector meeting (online) where you, as fellow members and seaweed farmers, can share your challenges and experiences in this area.
Identify bottlenecks and next steps
The aim is to identify your needs, bottlenecks and share ideas on what steps are needed at this stage to overcome them. To make this worthwhile for you, we will try to invite as many seaweed farmers as possible.
- What are the bottlenecks seaweed farmers are facing?
- Have you overcome any of them yourself?
- Do you recognise Tango's struggles and are you experiencing similar ones?
- What does the sector need now and at what level should action be focused? Political, B2B, B2C?
- How can we create something to support each other across the seaweed value chain?
If you have an idea to make this meeting even more valuable, please let us know by submitting your feedback via this registration form.
We're looking forward to your participation and your thoughts (online).
